IF- Faded beauty, Poisoned Apples

The Illustration Friday prompt 'Faded' today brought to mind this anonymous line: "We can not realize beauty until it fades".... which leads me to the lovely wicked queen of Grimm's Snow White.

I recently had the pleasure of creating some new pieces for June's Poisoned Apples show at the FunHouse gallery in Detroit. The curator was familiar with my Red Riding Hood compulsion and asked me to submit some pieces for consideration.

At first I had little interest as Snow White seem too pure... well, pure-ish... But then I slept on it.

I am a movie junkie & the first film I saw on the big screen (at age 6) was Disney's Snow White(I slept thru part 2 of the double feature- the Apple Dumpling Gang, maybe?). Next I pulled up the previews for the upcoming Snow White & The Huntsman flick.
